Don't think the extreme is that much different from the Ultra. Here's how I do it :
Installation-Channel Scan, hit OK, then down-arrow to highlight the line that starts with EDIT TP.
Arrow-right until it highlights ADD SAT, push OK..ARrow right again until RENAME lights up, hit ok to get the keyboard to rename it to whatever you want. When done , F2 saves it, then EXIT out. Go to Satellite setup then to set the parameters, switch positions etc for that satellite (be sure the one you added is the one showing in the title bar)
If not exact, then the extreme you have should be pretty close. They DO hide the dang ADD SAT thing in a funny place!

Bummer I scanned AMC9 and the channels are all locked out. Oh well at least I learned something today
Well if you got scrambled channels that are 'locked out' then you prob hit Nimiq instead of amc9. I think its right next door to AMC9. During the week you might find a couple of NBC news feed channels, sometimes the color bars are up and you can lock in on it. Vertical side, if I remember correctly. Try between 3-5pm central time =should find something.

Yep I noticed at the top of my antenna settings it says Nimiq. Is AMC 9 exactly at 83 degrees. Thanks for the transponders I'll add them in tonight when wifey goes to sleep.
